[单选题]The passage suggests that the early shops for making tools were ______.

正确答案 ：A

not very sophisticated

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“At first，these articles were whittled with a knife，but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.”在这里，A选项的not very sophisticated 意思为“并不复杂，是简单的”，对应原文中的primitive(原始的，简单的)。其他选项的内容属于无关信息。

[单选题]Joe: We haven't got together for a long time. How about lunch next week? Nancy: I'm pretty tied up all next week. How about we plan on two weeks from today? ______. Joe: OK. Wednesday in two weeks.

正确答案 ：B

I can make it on that Wednesday

解析：解析：make it表示“能够做到，行”，符合对话语境，其他词语义不恰当。

[单选题]I don't know his address, ______.

正确答案 ：B

otherwise I would write to him

解析：解析：在otherwise或or引导的并列分句中用虚拟语气。此时，otherwise或or引导的并列句相当于非真实性条件句中的主语部分，前一分句暗示了现在的情况，因而在 otherwise引导的分句中要用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。

[单选题]What matters ______ not winning but participating.

正确答案 ：D

is

解析：解析：此句很可能考句子主语，又因出现动词matter，因此，主语极可能为一主语从句。如主语为名词性从句，谓语动词一般用单数。

[单选题]Wang (guest): That was a delicious dinner. Mrs. Willis (hostess): ______. Would you like to go to the living room now? It's more comfortable there.

正确答案 ：D

I'm glad you enjoyed it

解析：解析：客人对主人招待的饭菜有好评，主人一般会客气地说声“谢谢”或表示“很高兴受到好评”。A．Thank you．Don't mention it．后一部分不符合习惯，属于画蛇添足； B．You're welcome．一般用于回答别人的致谢；C．Not so delicious，I'm afraid．符合汉语习惯，在英语中则显得过于自谦。
